Yeah it's those kind of episodes that really highlight the problem, if your enemy has a specific and singular weakness and you've dedicated the whole episode to finding it and exploiting it, I want a sense of victory but you cant have a sense of victory if as soon as you've won you're thrust into a thirty second mech battle where the villains weakness is apparently no longer applicable and you can just destroy them in a completely conventional way.

You know, you'd think the Power Rangers would stop hanging out with children as Rita ALWAYS targets the child that is with the Power Rangers, they are just putting them in direct danger.

Also are they using the same set for the community centre and the school? I swear they appear to be the same place.

I think that more due to the Zyuranger footage. The Zyurangers liked to hang out with kids all the time so i guess Saban tried to mimic them in that aspect.

I like how rather than editing out the giant Japanese child, they just said it was all a dream at the end. What a massive waste of time that episode was.

Watching some MMPR episodes and damn i forgot how awesome it was for a 6th Ranger to have his own theme. When Dino Thunder was release i was hoping they gave the White Dino ranger a remix version of the White Ranger theme. Instead of Tiger its Dino Power.

I just watched some more of Dino Thunder, Legacy of Power, even as a kid i called bull on this episode. They'res no way he could have gotten that footage.

i didnt have a problem with the footage part so much as his 'knowledge' of everything

He could have gotten it from the other rangers in Forever red?

We already know Spike is Kimberly's child. That's the real reason she left and why Tommy got a Dear John letter. The time frame could not be more perfect.

Okay, it's not official, but it works so well. Better than trying to explain Zedd and Rita's kid.
